It will be a few weeks until we leave, but having a ready-made “vacation” thrust into your lap means juggling a few things. While we’re finding the ways and means for planes, trains and automobiles, we thought we’d show you what we bought… or, some of it.
Here’s our Waterstones Bookstore purchase of the Day: a phrasebook, despite the fact that D. thinks he can get along well enough without. We also bought new walking shoes. T’s are, quite possibly, as far as she’s concerned, the ugliest shoes on the planet.
(With walking shoes, allegedly, it’s the comfort that counts. As long as you don’t look down.)
Meanwhile, the rain has blown in again, and the sky has split and is pouring down torrential buckets, so D. has officially inaugurated the muffin tin and made zucchini bread. Heat and sweet indeed! And, unless T. is overruled by a Star Trek movie yet again, this afternoon’s film is The Perils Of Pauline, 1947, which is based on a 1914 series of silent films. Ought to be… interesting.

So you’re going somewhere that you need a phrasebook…
Hmm.
From the spine there I see you’re going to some sort of Lonely Planet. And you have bought walking shoes so that narrows it down to a rocky planet.
looking forward to seeing photos from this holiday!
ooh, ooh.. suggestion to add to your list for bad-movie-sundays. Last Year in Marienbad. Seen it? It was actually better than I expected, thoroughly something to analyse.
Haven’t seen Last Year in Marienbad yet — we were actually just going to rewatch Cold Comfort Farm to see if there are any British in-jokes we now suddenly understand.
